Its a cool project but nothing about how it works requires web3 technologies or blockchain technologies. Web3 still isn't "solving" any problem in that system.

Javascript is cool but no websites really need it. You could build a website without javascript. There's really no reason for it to exist other than to enrich the pockets of consultants. It's not solving any problem on the internet.

You can make this argument for any technology at this point. If people like crypto it will exist. It's the same with a lot of other things I think shouldn't exist like gold.

Gold is kind of useful aside from its human invented use as a store of value and solving the coincidence of wants problem.

That was a perfectly reasonable position to hold until, like, Google Maps. Meanwhile we're 10 years and counting into the crypto hype and still zero legitimate use cases where it adds value.

The only difference I can tell from the Plain Jane Web is they pay you out of the premine coins they held on to at the beginning. I assume, maybe people donate also.

I’ll have to poke around later and see if I can quit my day job while getting paid to solve real problems.
